Join our webinar for partners interested in hosting Play the Game 2025 or 2027 

Play the Game has experienced great interest from potential partners for hosting the upcoming Play the Game conferences in 2025 and 2027. We are now extending an invitation to all interested parties for an informative one-hour webinar and Q&A about the details of the bidding process. 

Play the Game 2025 and 2027 will be the 14th and 15th editions of the leading independent world conference on international sports politics. Each conference is anticipated to gather 4-500 leading media professionals, academics, athlete representatives, sports officials, NGO activists, sports business executives, and students from around over the world.  

Preferably, the conference will be arranged as a four-day event in the last quarters of 2025 and 2027 (first quarter of 2028 may be considered). 

A host can be a sports organisation, a city, a media company, a university/education centre, a sports club, or a combination of all. Also, well-organised groups of interested individuals may apply, but applicants must document solid organisational skills and financial capacities. 

For detailed requirements and guidelines, please read the call for potential partners.

As the next step in the process, we invite all parties interested in hosting either the 2025 or 2027 edition of the Play the Game conference to join us for a one-hour webinar on 22 May at 15.00 CET.
